[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image="26351" img_size="full" alignment="center"][vc_column_text]DA NANG: The Communications and Digital Ministry (KKD) will focus on Malaysia’s position as Chairman of Asean 2025 through the Asean Ministers Responsible for Information (AMRI) Conference platform, its minister Fahmi Fadzil said. It includes efforts by agencies under the ministry, including Institute of Broadcasting and Information Tun Abdul Razak (IPPTAR), the Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama) and the Information Department (JaPen). “The next AMRI conference will be held in Brunei in 2025 and we will also host Asean 2025 (as chair) and I see several matters that we can work on these two years. “For instance, IPPTAR, Bernama dan JaPen can gather journalists from South East Asia to promote Malaysia and foster closer ties between countries,” he told Bernama after the 16th AMRI conference ended here today. He added that several matters that countries involved in the conference, including Asean dialogue partners like China, Japan and South Korea, would be prioritised to boost cooperation under the AMRI platform. He cited China, which was focused on its Belt and Road News Network (BRNN0, a platform encompassing 182 media outlets from 86 countries, that was launched in April 2019, to promote its Belt and Road initiative. Japan meanwhile is focused on infrastructure efforts while South Korea is emphasising on artificial intelligence issues that could be misused to produce fake news, he added. So, Asean plus Three (Asean+3) needs to work together to face such challenges, Fahmi said. On his meeting with Vietnam and Cambodia yesterday, Fahmi said his ministry was studying the documents to renew the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Vietnam that was signed in 1996 and that the KKD was ready to share technical expertise regarding protection of personal data and civil security with Cambodia. “The Personal Data Protection Department can assist in the aspects of boosting awarness and personal data security while CyberSecurity Malaysia (CSM) can showcase their expertises as one of the best technical agencies in the Asia Pacific,” he said. Fahmi held two 40-minute meetings with his Vietnamese counterpart Nguyen Manh Hung and Cambodian counterpart Neth Pheaktra yesterday. The 16th AMRI with the theme ‘Media: From Information to Knowledge for a Resilient and Responsive Asean’, held in Furama Resort Danang, was focused on efforts to curb fake news and misinformation as well as to build a more resilient and responsive Asean community. KKD secretary-general Datuk Mohamad Fauzi Md Isa and JaPen Media and Corporate Communications Division director Datuk E.Sivabalan, Bernama (News Services) deputy chief editor Nur-ul Afida Kamaludin and senior officials of the ministry and other agencies were part of the Malaysian delegation. - Bernama[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image="26348" img_size="full" alignment="center"][vc_column_text]DA NANG: Almost two billion suspicious calls and 581 million suspicious short messaging service (SMS) were successfully blocked from reaching Malaysian consumers with the assistance of telco service providers to tackle the issue of online scams. Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil said from 2020 to April 2023, the ministry also received a total of 8,499 public complaints related to fraudulent activities and within the same period successfully blocked 3,370 phishing sites. "Malaysia is managing misinformation, especially from the new media by focusing on 2P's - prevention and protection. "We are heavily invested in educating and empowering the public with online knowledge and tools to protect themselves," he said in his remarks at the 16th Conference of ASEAN Ministers Responsible for Information (AMRI) plenary session held after the opening ceremony, here today. Fahmi is leading the Malaysian delegation to the 16th AMRI at Furama Resort Danang, here which officially commenced today. Meanwhile to tackle the issue of misinformation, disinformation and fake news, Fahmi said Malaysia had set up a task force consisting of various agencies including the Royal Malaysia Police, Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and the Attorney General Chambers to establish inter-agency coordination to manage unverified news on new media. He said this is in response to AMRI's Working Group on Information, Media and Training which had established the Task Force on Fake News (TFFN) to look specifically at the role of Media and Information, to share best practices and even come up with shared initiatives in the ASEAN region on combating fake news. "Malaysia also has set up Sebenarnya.my and MyCheck Malaysia which are fact-checking websites that enable the Malaysian public to cross reference information and report false information. Sebenarnya.my has an average hits of 4.8 million a month and is the most effective fact checking website in Malaysia," he said. The minister said it was critical to ensure the information disseminated to the masses are reliable and correct as this can spell disaster to individuals, communities and nations, especially in the case of new media that has witnessed rapid advancement. Commenting on the 16th AMRI theme, "Media: From Information To Knowledge For A Resilient And Responsive ASEAN", he said that it was very appropriate, as the media had evolved from what was known as print, which delivered news the next day, to what we have now, which delivered news the next millisecond. "In order to be resilient and responsive, knowledge is definitely the key, and the media plays an effective role in converting information to knowledge," he said, when sharing Malaysia's journey and vision with regards to the theme, in line with the ASEAN Communications Master Plan II 2018-2025 (ACMP II). He noted that during the last ASEAN Digital Minister's Meeting (ADGMIN 3) in the Philippines, the ministers discussed the possibility of setting up a working group to look into misinformation, disinformation and fake news which was proposed by Thailand and was unanimously accepted by the meeting. Fahmi noted that Malaysia actively played a role in creating awareness of ASEAN and among its people, especially among school children and young adults. He said the Department of Information (JaPen) had successfully implemented a range of ASEAN related initiatives, including The ASEAN Mural Drawing Competition, Right Information Saves and Empowers (RISE ASEAN), ASEAN Quiz Competition and ASEAN @ Socmed. Also in Malaysian delegation are Communications and Digital Ministry secretary-general Datuk Mohamad Fauzi Md Isa, Department of Information (Japen) Media and Corporate Communication director Datuk E. Sivabalan, Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama) Deputy Editor-in-Chief (News Service) Nur-ul Afida Kamaludin as well as other high-ranking officials from KKD and its agencies. Hizreen Azleena, [22/9/2023 3:19 PM] Earlier, Vietnam Vice President Vo Thi Anh Xuan in her opening speech highlighted the importance of promoting timely and accurate information based on digital capabilities, turning information into knowledge to support businesses and people's livelihoods. "Minimising the impact of negative information is now an urgent need at national, regional and international levels including ASEAN," she said. Xuan said AMRI was an important forum for ASEAN member states and dialogue countries to exchange to identify priorities and directions for cooperation in future and to jointly achieve the United Nations Milleniium Development Goals as well as the priorities of the ASEAN Community. – BERNAMA[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image="26345" img_size="full" alignment="center"][vc_column_text]PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama), Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) and Information Department (Japen) need to strengthen their cooperation in formulating strategies to combat fake news, said the Minister of Communications and Digital Fahmi Fadzil (pix). Speaking to reporters after attending the Communications and Digital Ministry’s (KKD) monthly assembly here today, Fahmi said all three agencies, which are under KKD, must be at the forefront in countering any inaccurate information on social media and mainstream media promptly. He said the matter should be taken seriously to prevent misunderstandings and prolonged confusion among the public due to the spread of fake news and information. “There is a need for RTM, Bernama, and Japen to work closely to swiftly counter false information and baseless allegations because it can tarnish reputations and create a negative perception. This is not a political matter but a matter of national importance,” he said. “We must be proactive in improving public service delivery, and I urge us to cultivate the practice of verifying the authenticity of information or news before sharing it,” he said. For the same purpose, Fahmi when winding up the debate on the 12th Malaysia Plan Mid-Term Review in Parliament last Tuesday, also said the ministry may also discuss the proposal by a government backbencher Rodziah Ismail for RTM to have a daily review of false news. “Maybe we can introduce a slot in RTM news, to be called Fitnah Apa Hari Ini (Today’s False News) to answer and rebut all the fake news so as to avoid misunderstanding among the public,” he said.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image="26342" img_size="full" alignment="center"][vc_column_text]PUTRAJAYA: Pertubuhan Berita Nasional (Bernama), Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) dan Jabatan Penerangan (JaPen) perlu memperkukuhkan kerjasama dalam merangka strategi bagi menangkis berita palsu, kata Menteri Komunikasi dan Digital, Fahmi Fadzil. Bercakap kepada pemberita selepas menghadiri perhimpunan bulanan Kementerian Komunikasi Digital (KKD) di sini hari ini, Fahmi berkata selaku agensi di bawah KKD, ketiga-tiga agensi tersebut perlu menjadi barisan hadapan dalam menangkis sebarang maklumat tidak tepat di media sosial dan media arus perdana secara segera. Katanya, perkara itu perlu diberi perhatian serius bagi mengelak berlaku salah faham dan kekeliruan yang berpanjangan dalam kalangan masyarakat ekoran penyebaran berita dan maklumat palsu. "Ada keperluan RTM, Bernama dan JaPen jalin kerjasama erat untuk segera tangkis tohmahan atau maklumat yang tidak berasas kerana ia boleh cemar maruah dan menimbulkan persepsi tidak baik. Ini bukan hal politik tetapi hal kenegaraan. "Kita mesti bersifat proaktif untuk tambah baik penyampaian perkhidmatan awam, saya minta kita budayakan amalan menyemak kesahihan sesuatu maklumat atau berita sebelum dikongsi," katanya. Bagi tujuan sama, Fahmi ketika menggulung perbahasan usul Kajian Separuh Penggal Rancangan Malaysia ke-12 (KSP RMK12) di Parlimen pada Selasa lalu menyatakan persetujuan dan akan meneliti cadangan Ahli Parlimen Ampang, Rodziah Ismail supaya RTM mewujudkan siaran khusus bagi semakan berita fitnah agar ia boleh dirujuk secara harian. Mungkin kita akan wujudkan slot baharu, contohnya 'Fitnah Apa Hari ini', untuk jawab dan tangkis berita palsu supaya tidak berlaku salah faham dalam kalangan rakyat," katanya. Mengulas video yang tular mengenai kalimah 'Wallahi Wabillahi Watallahi' yang didakwa tidak lagi dibaca ketika majlis mengangkat sumpah sebagai Ahli Parlimen, Fahmi berkata kalimah tersebut sememangnya tidak dilafazkan oleh Ahli Parlimen ketika mengangkat sumpah. Sebaliknya, katanya kalimah berkenaan hanya dilafazkan Perdana Menteri dan Jemaah Menteri ketika mengangkat sumpah jawatan di hadapan Yang di-Pertuan Agong. "Saya telah teliti beberapa majlis mengangkat sumpah (Ahli Parlimen) yang diadakan sebelum ini. Maka jelas tidak ada 'Wallahi Wabillahi Watallahi' dalam majlis angkat sumpah sebagai Ahli Parlimen, bukan hanya dalam penggal ini malah dalam penggal-penggal sebelum ini," katanya. Semalam, tular sebuah video yang memaparkan Ahli Parlimen Arau, Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim meminta penjelasan mengenai kalimah 'Wallahi Wabillahi Watallahi' tidak dilafazkan Naib Pengerusi Amanah, Johor Suhaizan Kaiat ketika mengangkat sumpah jawatan sebagai Ahli Dewan Rakyat. Dalam perkembangan lain, Fahmi berkata KKD akan melaksanakan penambahbaikan dalam penganjuran Hari Kebangsaan dan Hari Malaysia (HKHM) bagi 2024 bagi merancakkan lagi acara sambutan hari bersejarah itu. "Alhamdulillah, HKHM2023 telah diadakan dengan cukup jayanya, ia tidak akan berjaya tanpa kerjasama semua pihak. "Saya terharu dengan kerjasama yang diberikan kerana ini kali pertama saya kemudi kepimpinan di KKD. Insya-Allah, untuk tahun depan, kita akan teliti bagaimana untuk meriahkan lagi kalendar sambutan Bulan Kebangsaan," katanya. Sambutan Hari Kebangsaan 2023 di Dataran Putrajaya pada 31 Ogos lepas dihadiri lebih 100,000 pengunjung, manakala sambutan Hari Malaysia di Stadium Perpaduan, Kuching pada 16 September lalu berjaya menarik kehadiran lebih 5,000 pengunjung. Tema HKHM 2023 ialah Malaysia MADANI: Tekad Perpaduan Penuhi Harapan. - BERNAMA[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
